Thomas Hammond, (died young)

Not the same as Thomas Hammond, of Watertown

Previously NEHGR, p. 28: Vol. 30 in 1876 stated erroneously that Thomas Hammond of Hingham was the son of Thomas and Rose Trippe. They did have a son Thomas born 1586, but the same parish register notes a Thomas died the same month, The will of the father, in 1589, lists no son named Thomas, but lists all the other children. Hammond clearly not noticing the death of their child and the lack of mention of his in the wills of his parents. So we can be fairly certain that he was evidently not the son of Thomas Hammon and Rose Tripp of Lavenham. A recent discussion of the will of Rose (Trip) Hammond - Stewart is given in NEHGR 150:433 by Anderson.
